Dongzhen was very dilapidated.

This place is fraught with danger.

The child lives here, and he knows very well where he should go and what places to avoid.

He wandered through the maze of streets until he came to a small alley, where he saw a tall figure dressed in a kimono, carrying large and small bags.

"Sister Dove!" he exclaimed in delight.

“Oh, Ryder.” Dove turned around and looked at the boy in surprise.

However, she then noticed that the child's chest was bulging, as if it contained something.

Her expression changed, and she said sternly, "Ryder, did you steal something?!"

“I’m sorry, Sister Dove, but Emily can’t eat it anymore. She loves roast duck the most, so I…” Ryder said, holding back his tears.

"Emily's dying?!" Dove exclaimed in shock. "Wasn't her condition stable when I left?!"

"Let's hurry home and talk as we walk!" Turtlefellow led Ryder quickly toward home.

Ryder spoke of Emily's situation.

“Emily’s condition worsened on the fourth day after you left. The doctor said she needed very expensive medication, so we had to pay for it. We gave the doctor all the money, and Emily’s condition stabilized. But afterwards, we couldn’t afford to pay for Emily’s stay in a VIP ward anymore, and we couldn’t afford the best medication, so Emily’s condition continued to deteriorate.”

"We can't reach you, and I want to... keep doing that kind of thing."

“But Emily absolutely refused, so after spending all our savings, we had no choice but to take her home and watch her condition worsen.”

"already."

"It's no longer possible."

"Emily said she wanted to eat roast duck, so I..."

"How could this be?" The dove's beautiful eyes filled with tears, and as she blinked, the tears slid down her cheeks.

"Welcome home, Sister Turtledove." Ryder, with tears in her eyes, was determined to complete the ceremony.

They had arrived at the gate of a small courtyard.

There were many children in the yard dressed in old but not tattered or dirty clothes.

"Sister Dove!" They rushed over as soon as they saw the dove.

"These are things I bought for you. I'm going to see Emily."

The turtledove put down its things and quickly went into the house.

But soon.

The turtledove came out.

Her bright makeup was ruined by tears, but she quickly touched it up and said, "Ryder, let's go return the money to the owner!"

"Sister Turtledove," Ryder paused, "this isn't the time to deal with this; we should give the roast duck..."

"Shut up!" the dove said sternly. "Emily can't eat something from a thief brother; she won't be able to go to heaven that way!"

Ryder shuddered.

Chapter 11, The Surprising Request

It was getting late.

Yefried was tired and sleepy.

He started looking for hotels seriously and lowered his requirements.

But then, that kind of service started again as the night market came to a close.

"You guys are really never going to stop."

Yefried was helpless.

Young and handsome, he looked very wealthy from his clothes and was surrounded by a group of girls who were showing off their beauty without reservation.

“I’m sorry, I’m a pure love,” Yefrit said, indicating her refusal.

"Just doing it for free? That's fine too." The girl surprised everyone with her words. "Don't worry, I'll be very gentle!"

"You're not gentle at all, handsome! Don't agree to her request. She's like a watering can, so dirty!" Another girl pushed her away.

"."

Yefried cried out that she couldn't take it anymore.

He is still a child!

Although he was a nearly 30-year-old office worker in his previous life, he was also a virgin.

"Found him!" Ryder shouted. "Sister Dove, it's that big brother!"

"Wait, let's not disturb him!" When Dove saw Yefrit surrounded by girls, she understood perfectly well what was going on.

Stealing someone's money is very impolite.

It's even more impolite to interrupt someone's search for a girl!

Yefrit looked over, waved to them, and then quickly said, "Make way, my girlfriend is here!"

The girls looked over and saw that the dove was tall and had a certain air about him, so they felt that he was not someone to be trifled with. Although it was nice to have a little sweet treat, they didn't want to cause trouble. In business, it's all about mutual consent and making money through harmony.

The crowd made way.

Yefried approached the dove somewhat awkwardly.

He remembered a guy with hair the color of a green onion.

Girls are really a difficult character to deal with.

It's even more tiring than finishing the Iron Forest!

"Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to interrupt your good time."

The dove said, blushing.

Actually, she heard Yefried's words and was quite surprised.

Looking at him, who was two or three years younger than her, around eighteen or nineteen years old, such a young and vigorous boy could actually refuse those women's invitations. He must be either a fool or have ulterior motives.

Is claiming to be his girlfriend just an excuse, or does she have ulterior motives because she thinks he's pretty? Is this the beginning of a scheme?

Yefrit waved her hand and said, "No, I'm actually grateful to you. I don't want to be taken away and eaten by them, it's too terrible."

"Pfft." The spotted dove couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This person is making it sound like that kind of thing is incredibly terrible.

Although she had never experienced it, she was at least twenty years old, and everywhere she looked, both men and women longed for that kind of thing. So how could it be something to avoid?

unless

She looked at Yefrit with a strange expression—

Is he still a virgin at this age?

It's really rare.

Yefrit thought to himself that her gaze was rather strange. He didn't want to waste any more time; he was very sleepy. So he asked, "Excuse me, do you need something from me?"

"Oh, right." Banjiu suddenly remembered the important matter. She quickly pulled Ryder out and said somewhat ashamedly, "My name is Banjiu, and this is my younger brother Ryder. He stole your money. I'm sorry, I didn't raise my brother well!"

After saying that, she pulled Ryder along and bowed deeply.

"Ah," Yefrit hadn't expected them to come and apologize. He adjusted his glasses to ease his slight surprise and said, "I know, it's just a small amount of money. I didn't care about it at first, but I'm very touched that you came to apologize."

“Your money has already been taken by Ryder to buy roast duck, so I will give you the same amount in return,” said Ivy. Then she took out a pink rabbit wallet and gave Yefrit exactly the amount of money she had prepared.

Yefrit accepted the money and said, "Since you've returned the money, we're even. You've also helped me out of a difficult situation, so I'm very grateful. Please accept this money."

"Huh?" The two were taken aback.

"It's just some change, please don't refuse. I'm very tired and sleepy right now, and I don't want to waste any more time looking for a hotel." Yefrit stuffed the money into Ryder's hand.

"Then I'll take my leave." With that, he departed.

Seeing this, the dove said, "Ryder, you go back first, I'll come back later."

"Yes, Sister Dove." Ryder nodded, then raised his fist and said excitedly, "Sister Dove, you can do it!"

"What do you mean, 'cheer up'?" Izayoi was completely bewildered, but Ryder had already run away.

It took her several seconds to finally understand what Ryder meant.

It seems he misunderstood.

I didn't have that intention.

This young, handsome, wealthy, gentlemanly, and kind boy has absolutely no connection to darkness in terms of temperament. He must be a mage from a legitimate guild. He is far beyond her reach!

She shook her head and looked at Yefrit.

Ah, he's already gone far away!

The dove quickly gave chase.

"Um, if you don't mind, please let me help you find a hotel."

Yefried looked up at her.

Yes, look up.

Izayoi was a tall girl, probably about the same height as him, and with her thick-soled shoes, Yefrit had to look up to talk to her.

After thinking for a moment, Yefrit said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Hmm." The turtledove nodded and said, "Excuse me, are you looking for a regular inn, or something else?"

Yefritte quickly interrupted her, "It's fine as it is! I've been shopping all day, my legs and feet are sore, I just want to take a shower and then get a good night's sleep."

"Okay, please come with me."

They didn't say much along the way.

Yefried only mentioned her name out of politeness, but she did not show the same enthusiasm she had for Ikaruga, Mirajane, and the others.
